Ronan O’Gara has recommended turning to English players as the Lions seek to pick themselves up off the canvas after their knock-down against South Africa A in Cape Town.
Ronan O’Gara’s Lions XV :
BACK-THREE:
Stuart Hogg (Scotland); Anthony Watson (England), Liam Williams (Wales)
“The back-three is so hard to pick,” said O’Gara.
“Josh Adams scores tries, and we are going to need to score a try or two, while Louis Rees-Zammit has probably been very unlucky.
“High ball is crucial and, for me, Liam Williams is different class there.
“Anthony Watson just seems to have unbelievable pace, while Hogg is hurting and this could be the opportunity to relaunch him.”
CENTRES:
Elliot Daly (England), Bundee Aki (Ireland)
